Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt on why in-office work is better: 'I don't know how you build great management' virtually. (via CNBCMakeIt)
"[I]t's important that these people be at the office, in my view," Schmidt, 66, tells, arguing that for decades, the in-office style has been proven effective. "I'm a traditionalist."
Schmidt says it's not just a matter of nostalgia: There are practicalities to working together in person. For example, he says that conversations about professionalism — which might be particularly necessary at companies full of young employees — are much harder to have virtually. Younger employees, particularly those between the ages of 25 and 35, can also use in-office settings to more effectively develop their management styles, Schmidt says. For him, that includes learning about meeting etiquette, presentation skills, workplace politics and dealing with competitors, both internally and externally.
There are exceptions, Schmidt notes: Some workers might have specialized roles that don't require a lot of in-person communication, others might deeply dislike the office's social nature and many probably aren't looking forward to reintegrating lengthy commutes into their schedules.
